by reason of ill-health). 
A discussion ensued, in which the Revs. J. H. Titcomb, C. A. Row, Dr. J. 
McCann, G. Henslow, Dr. S. Wainwright, Dr. J. H. Rigg, T. M. Gorman, 
and the Chairman took part, after which the meeting was adjourned. 
This paper is not inserted, as Dr. Wheatley was not only unable to 
be present at the meeting and take part in the discussion, but, by reason of 
ill-health, had written the paper under such difficulties as prevented his 
taking up fully the important subject on which it treated ; the members and 
associates will, however, be glad to hear that he has kindly promised, so soon 
as his health permits, to give an exhaustive essay upon his subject.
